The Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has given a reason why security agents have found it difficult to track armed bandits who flaunt ransom monies on social media platforms like TikTok and others.

 

 

 

In a recent interview with a radio station, Bwala was asked how come security agents are quick to track and arrest Nigerians who use social media to vent their frustrations but are unable to track and arrest the bandits who have over the years k!lled many Nigerians and destroyed properties.

 

 

 

Responding to the question, Bwala said

 

‘’There is a regulatory body in Nigeria that has the database of Nigerians and their phone numbers. There is also a body that deals with internet service provision where if you are using an internet service covered within the sphere of Nigeria, they can trace through the IP address where you are.

 

If you are using Starlink, we cannot trace it because Starlink is not registered in Nigeria, it is in space. That is the problem they have in Ukraine and Russia. These terrorists most of the time are using cellular services from the neighboring countries and not from Nigeria so it becomes tricky.”
